1. Flip Flop as a political strategy:
Bush 2001: We need to catch Osama bin Laden dead or alive."
Bush 2002 " I am not sure where he is. To capture him is strategically
unimportant"
Bush 2004 "Of course I want to capture bin Laden. Those who say that I
do not want him are exaggerating my words."
2. Endorse Faith Based dogmas: Gen. Boykin: "Evan in Africa I knew
that my Christian God is stronger than others."
3. Give tax brakes to rich corporation while firing and putting
thousands of American workers on the streets and in jails. Give
special money incentive for outsourcing jobs to India and China.
4. Invade Iraq in order to benefit corporations like Halliburton,
Kellogg, Brown, Root, and Cheney Inc.
5. Invade Afghanistan in order to supply Americans with opium,
heroine, and other drugs for addicts. On the same time, prohibit
Americans to buy cheaper drugs from Canada.
6. Isolate USA from the rest of the world by unilateral decisions:
refusal to implement Kyoto environmental treaty, invasion of Iraq and
its "reconstruction", war prisoner abuse, and economic wars with
Europe. Ordinary people are afraid to travel overseas, while Bush
families drink coffee with Saudi Royal Family.
7. Cutting social programs for poor, underemployed, seniors, children,
and minorities while increasing military spending.
8. Blaming and making horror stories and lies about democrats, left,
liberals, Muslims, and Jews in order to keep political control. Bush:
"America will be secure under my leadership. Kerry is a flip flop and
very far from the mainstream."
9. Spying on ordinary American people and hiding information from tax
payers will make America secure. Thanks to the Patriot Act every step
of a normal man in the library, on the streets are monitored. People
are afraid to click on a foreign web sites and asks books about
American geography. Soon private homes will be monitored as well. 10.
Lying is ok as long as you never admit any wrong- doing. Laws are for
the ordinary people and they should serve rich.
